High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
Are you referring to a proxied IP?
Does this sound like the instance you're referring to? `ping server.a.tld` => which would resolve to a different IP than what it actually is.
There isn't really any possibility to 'encrypt' a domain but I see what you're saying here. I believe 99.9% you're talking about a proxy. They probably use a service like Cloudflare which masks the origin IP of the server, hiding the real one, to prevent DDoS attacks / security breaches / etc. Lots of people use a service like that for their minecraft server and website. If you need help I'm happy to further assist in DMs if this is the case.
Let me know if you have any other questions or need more specific examples / information. :tup:

Cloudflare can proxy your http traffic, but open a program such as Wireshark while in-game and this will reveal the backend IP. You need to proxy TCP traffic too, Cloudflare offers this but it's a paid service.

Yep, can totally agree with this.
There's a lot of options you can go here such as different TCP providers to full on GRE tunneling. There's GRE tunneling software by x4b I believe for Windows systems (IPIP based as windows doesn't natively support GRE tunneling and etc) and for GRE based tunneling if you run a linux server, which has many guides online. If he runs a server on OVH, I know all around the world, they have great DDoS protection, so the only reason why he or she would probably do such a thing is if they are doing networking relating to CDN networks to give users better ping and what not, or maybe even for security so there's only one port (25565) open on the front end which people are connecting with. P.S: proxies don't preserve client IP.
